OF Whom the Association is Com
posed.-The Question Involved.
EDITOR Critic With the main part of
your admirable editorial Of yesterday on the
Schuetzen Park case, am, Of course, heart.
lily in accord, and express my sincere thank,
for the good taste and judgment you have
displayed in looking at II from cosmopol.
itan and not from a local standpoint. When
the case is heard in the upper court many
things about which could now speak will
then be brought out therefore defer
Permit me to-day to say that you, 10 com
mon with many others, have fallen into an
error in looking upon the organization as
purely German. 1t contains, while all are
American citizens, about as large number
Of those iu whose veins flows no drop OF
German blood, aud who enjoy the really
temperate, social and personal liberties
which are conducive to good morals aud the
prosperity of every community. Again you
say that the Germans have peculiar ideas in
regard to the Sunday Observance, leaving
tBe inference that they are lrreligiOus. Such
is not the fact. They 70 to their several
places of worship on sunday morning, but
think, as every sensible man ought 10, that,
tired out by weeks toll and trouble, they
should, in the afternoon, have chance, in
the compeny Of their wives and children, to
enjoy nationally and temperatcly all those
great and beneilCent bouHtics which u good
Creator has given them.
The whole question Is, as sat! In the
court, aud as you also say in your elito-
rial, of too serious an Import to be throw
aside as passing event An Organization,
owning 800, 600 worth Of property, char
tered by special act Of Congress twenty live
years ago, and which Is one of the great
factors of Metropolitan life, cannot and
should not be treated as the mushroom con
Gems which have sprung up within recent
date simply to evdGe law. II certain pO'
lictmen cannot distinguish between body
Of gentlemen and band Of loafers, the one
Il society created to uphold law, cOutrihut-
ing largely to the very maintenance of that
police, and the other one to eyade the law
and to harass the police, then the sooner
certain amount OF sound discretion was
impaired TO them the better for the welfare
of the District aud the honor aud dignity OF
Il police. SiMON WOLF.

RISE UP, WILLIAM ALLEN
Fine Picture of the Famous Ohioaa
by u Noted Countsrfeitcr.

by Noted Countsrfeiter.
Over the steam.heater In the ro IN ut
the Chief of the Secret Service Division
of the Treasury Department hangs a
ilnoly.CXecutcd steel engraving OF the
late Governor William Allen In sub.
s,antial gilded oak frame. There is m
interesting history connected with the
picture, which was executed b. the
noted counterfeiter, Charles UNriCh,
who recently viCtimized several Of the
German nobility at Berlin out of So.
Geo, and for which he is now under
Indictment by the courts of the German
Empire.
When he made the picture Of Gov.
CinOr Allen, UlriCh was confined In the
Ohio penilentiary for forgery, anl one
day, having secured steel saw blade
and a graver's tool, he began the work
Of Engraving the State executive, some
say with the idea of utilizing 1t in an
application for pardon.
But 1t served to show TO the warden
OF the prison that he had remarkable
engraver in custody, and subsequently
the cOnviCts skill was utilized for the
benefit of the keeper. simultaneously
with the issue of the engravlngs of the
famous "Iiisc Up WIN. Allen" orders
poured In upon the warden for card
plates and lctterheads, and according
10 subsequent statement by Ulrich he
made the warden wealthy, A work
shop was fitted up for him In the prison
yard, where he was supplied with a
complete engraving outfit, anl he
proved such traCtablc prisoner that
he was granted the privilege of spend
ing his evenings on parole outsile
ihc prison, 10 which he returned early
every morning 10 resume his llblrs ut
engraving. The picture now ia the
possession Of the Secret Service Chief
was obtained in raid made upon Il
countcrieitet den, after Ul.ich Ind
been released, and connoisseurs pro.
nouncc 1t one Of the best steel cngrav
ings they have ever seen. Every line of
the smooth face of the old Governor
is plainly brought out aud the black
satin stock, high standing collar and
black silk watch guard over the i'm
maculate shirt front are very naturally
portrayed. Visitors calling upon the
chief have their attention ut once at.
tracted to the picture, and they arc rc.
feried TO "a photograph OF the famous
forgtr, which occupies conspicuous
position between the gas jets in the
room where the curiositics of crime
are daily exhibited to tourists from all
parts of the world.

THE PRESS OF TO-DiY.
How II Differs From That Before the
War.

Before the late civil war, says Dom
Piatt, the press of the United States
resembled that of Europe, where the
newspaper is the organ that puts 10
print the opinions of the class It repre-.
sents. Then the publisher found it
necessary TO employ capable pen
drivers, who wrote essays for editorials,
and lie regarded himself as teacher
whose mission 1t was to instruct as well
us entertain his subscribers. The
news made a subordinate department,
and was more reliable than fresh or
sensational. The National TutGliigeRcer
of Washington city was a model in its
day, and its editorials were as profound
and heavy as Seneca's morals. The
writer of this was the first local editor
known to Cincinnati, and while he
made his column at least amusing, IL
not valuable, solemn gentleman
named Case gave out each morning an
entire page OF learned, loaded editorials
He discharged his local editor on &C
count of the light, frivolous anl unre.
liable feature he had introduced to the
EH9H{rCr. The war came on and the
reports Of great fights brought news
10 the front, and taught the publisher n
lesson. The editorials were no, only
neglected by the readers, but anathe
ma,ized as nuisances. The publishers
awakened 10 the'fact that the American
people were like Festus thought ST.
Paul-much learning made them mad.
Rough as this sounds, |
must not he understood as censuring
the press OF 10 day, for regard II rs
Infinitely better than that of the past.
1t is not as indecent as that of our
fathers, and is vastly more amusing.
If any one doubts this, let him turn 10
the flies Of any journal published in
that dim past and read the billingsgate
heapcd upon the heads Of political op.
poncnis. Our excellent President com.
plains Of the vile personalities INDUCED
in at his expense. Let him send to the
Congressional Library for nles printed
IN the times OF Jefferson, jackson and
Van Buren and sec how the noble ed.
ilors abused his predecessors. lie will

Tie twilight OF those Southern skies
Met kindred darkness 10 her eyes,
And trembling in the shadowy light,
Kissed sunset into glorious night.

To freshen, with It's blushing grace,
The tropic splendor OF her face.
Upon her shapely head the coils
